What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by neurological differences in the brain. It is believed that a combination of factors may contribute to the development of ASD.

How is ASD diagnosed?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has no biological diagnostic test to detect autism. Using formal screening tools such as looking for childhood development milestones and several other diagnostic tests and tools can help.

Some symptoms include:

  • Difficulty with communication (delayed or absent speech or difficulty understanding nonverbal cues)
  • Social challenges (difficulty making friends, sharing interests or emotions with others)
  • Repetitive behaviors (rocking, hand-flapping, or repeating words/phrases)
  • Delayed in reaching developmental milestones (crawling, walking, or speaking)
  • Narrow Interests (focused interests in a specific topic or activity)
  • Difficulty with transitions (transitioning from one activity or environment) 

How is ASD treated?

There is no one specific treatment for ASD, however it’s widely accepted that early intervention can produce the best outcome. Educating yourself, family, and friends can result in nurturing the Individual impacted by ASD to reach endless goals.
